Usman Garuba spoke ahead of Hiopos Lleida-Real Madrid, corresponding to Liga game 11 (Saturday, 7:00 pm CET): "We're going into a complicated game, against a team that is stronger at home. We have to be ready at all times, because they press a lot."
Demanding game
"We have to play with intensity and control our emotions. It'll be played at a very high tempo, for sure. If we do what we have to do, the match will be very favourable for us. We have to play our game, be calm and patient."
The opponent
"It's a dangerous game. When we played there, they were very tight. Their players are very resourceful. They're also fighting to get into the Cup, so we have to be on our toes at all times. It'll be a tough game, we have to be honest; we've had four games in seven days. We have to be ready."
